I‘ve got to see a man about a cattle rustlin‘ case." ‘The car stopped and ‘he got out. Celia waved him a goodby as she threw in the clutch again. Watkins watched the car drive on up th’ road. "I kin get a lift most anytime from here," he mused, "an‘ even if I have to walk it ‘u‘d be ‘better than sittin‘ back in that seat spoilin‘ a chance like that for those two:* "You know, Celia dear," Parks said, and he was quite unconscious of the "dear"â€"though Colia wasn‘t, "I do owe my life to you. as it‘s the only life I ‘have it‘s fi}hty valuable to me. So my debt is a big one." Celia bent a little closer over the wheel. "I‘m glad if I helped," she said, "but, Mike, please don‘t take such chances again. I‘m fond of Butte, but sometimesâ€"sometimes it‘s an awfully tough town." She didn‘t answer for a moment as the car swung around the foot of Big Butte. ‘"Which was it, Celia?" ‘They say," Celia finally spoke, "that the West is a land of indiâ€" vidualists. And I‘m a true daughter of the West." i "Isâ€"is my Hife worth something to you,â€"too?" he asked4trying to catch her eyes. "Why, of course," she answered, "al my friends‘ lives are." "Oh, is that all? ‘Then it was sim ply an interest in lives in general and not jn one individual life?" â€" Whereupon she opened the cutâ€"out and stepped on the accelerator and the car swooped into Butte at a specid which the city fathers had de clared illegal to the point of imâ€" morality. But it‘s doubtful if either one of them would have been able to give any testimony as to their speed. They weren‘t riding a car, but a comet that flashed through the infinite beavens of happiness. CHAPTER XX An Evening Out When Dopey Bennie‘s voice failed to summon Wong Sing after the third call, he grunted, "Something happened to Wong. Never had to call him more than once before," and getting up from his chair, he left his two companions and started through the kitchen and down the cellar stairs to investigate. In the dimness of the basement he could at first ~locate nothing, but after a The Sheriff of Silver Bow y $ ME ALL TRED OUT way you Go \ AYIN AROU BERTON BRALEY moment he heard Wong stir in his corner, and with an exclamation he rushed over to the Chinaman. "Bound and gagged," he exclaim ed. "Somebody‘s been here." He unâ€" tied Wong swiftly and removed the handkerchief from ‘his mouth. _ "What happened?" he queried. For a moment Wong could not answer, dbut presently l!h words came. "Man he come, he.meow all same cat. I open door look see what cat he come outside; ‘bang, someâ€" thing hit me velly hard, all lights he go out. Plitty quick I wake up, I find my hands all tied up, legs they tie, too. No can yell, he put handâ€" kerchief over my mouth. Plitty soon he go upâ€"stairs, I think he listen what you say perhaps. By by he come in gleat rush, he lun out door. ‘Then you come." "Who was it, Wong?" â€" "I no know him, but I think he all same man come to flont door two thlee days ago, ask for you. I say you no home. He say tell ‘em I call. I say what name? He say, no name, teil him newsplapa man. That‘s all." "Um," commented .Dopey. ‘"That‘s all, eh? I guess I‘ll see the others about this." He ran lightly up the stairs and burst in on the pther two men. "Found Wong gagged and tied up down there," he said, "somebody‘s wise. At least somebody was outside this door listening to our confab." "Parks," shrilled Smith. "And he‘s the harmful person you poor simps wouldn‘t take my dope one. Where‘s he gone?" man "No, but Wong says he thinks it was a newspaper men who called at the house and asked for me the other gay." "I don‘t know. I wasn‘t goin‘g to stick my head down that shaft and perhaps find it full of cops or sherâ€" iff‘s deputies." ‘"Well, I‘ll take a liik if you won‘t, Bennie," Hartman said. "If they‘re there we‘re in trouble anyway, and if they aren‘t we want to know it. Smith, take a look out the window and see if there seems to be anyâ€" body watching in the alley. They may have the whole place surround ed, undergrown and above." "I don‘t see anybody but Charlie the Coke," Smith answered~after a glance through a hole in the curtain shade which covered the â€" window. "But I‘m not going out that way if I can help it. I can‘t afford to be seen ‘Know who it was?" asked Hartâ€" .peep down . Cautiously they -uo“z down the stairs, and with equal tion they opened the disguised door. ‘There was no sound from below. Hartman took out his flashâ€"light and throw ite beam down the hole, *There‘s no one in the shaft," he said, "sad I‘m golng down to in vestigate further. You fellows can wome or stay as you choose. If 1 get "Walt ‘a minute," said Dopey, "there‘s no use of your showing yourself. J‘ll send Wong. If he‘s caught there it won‘t mean anything like the suspicion that it would if you or Swith went down." Wong shpok his head slowly. ‘ _ But Murphy, at the south Python shaft, was unable to find anyone at |the moment the message arrived, to aid him in his endeavors to prevent the safe egress of Parks and his {party, and when, at his first glance ; down the shaft the light of Celia‘s flash showed there was not one but |sevenl men climbing up the ladder, |and when Watkins‘ bullet whistled uncomfortably close to his ear, he soon desisted from tossing old timâ€" bers down the opening and contentâ€" |ed himself with watching the group from behind a convenient shed.

One man had gone into that crosscut, and that ‘ W was all he was sure of He went ** back through the tunned and met Dopey and Smith, who had descendâ€" ed that far after him. 1 4 "Well?" said Smith. "I saw him going into the station," said Hartman. "I couldn‘t make out who it was. But he‘s evidently wise to the way down to the Python shaft." "And if he gets out anyhow asked Smith. "I‘ll phone Murphy to be on watch fcr him at the top of the Python," said Dapey. "I think Mr. Parks will wish he‘s kept above ground before we get through ‘with him." "Yes, and you‘ll let that bird get away again," said Smith. "I don‘t know why the hell I didn‘t croak him myself." "We‘ll attend to that when it hapâ€" pens," responded «Bonnie. "Meanâ€" time you gentlomen better slide out ard go home. I‘ll let you hear from me if I need you." "I‘ll tell you why," Dopey answerâ€" ed, "because in the first place you baven‘t the nerve to do any real stuff yourself, and in the second place ‘because you know that if you start things that aren‘t on the proâ€" gram you‘ll find yourself in a mess beside which ‘this is a pleasant Quaker meeting. Behave." "Behave is correct," admitted Hartman, "cme on, Smith." The proâ€" ceeded down the tunnel and out the shaft while Dopey Bennie climbed to his shack and proceeded to issue his orders by nhone. When the five figures he saw had piled into the auto and driven away Murphy reported by phome to his chief. But the information he was inble to give proved somewhat ‘cketchy. for Murphy was neither parâ€" ticularly observant nor greatly ‘coumgeous. and the shot from the kflun had scared him. He was the type of thug who performs in gangs, and the necessity of working alone or this occasion had been too much ’for him. Besides which, his anxiety to avoid the wrath of Dopey Bennie led him to some flight of imaginaâ€" tion, so that the incident at the shaft mouth became, as reported to Benâ€" mie, a battle in which he had been overwhelmed by five bloodthirsty desperadoes from whom he had es caped only after prodigies of valor. He thought one of them was an officer, but he hadn‘t had time in the fight to make sure, he told Benâ€" nie, and the others he didn‘t recogâ€" filze .

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY Pleading guilty to charges of as sault and robbery, Herbert and Howâ€" ard Osborne, father and son, in police court at ‘Toronto last week were sentenced to ten years in Portsâ€" mouth penitentiary each. In addiâ€" tion, the som was sentenced to 15 strokes of the strap. The charges were laid in comnection with the holdâ€"up of the cashier of a dairy company there in March, when $1,900 was stolen. Subsequently most of this amount was recovered.

Parks he had never seen before and Celia in a riding habit looked like a slender young man at that distance. ‘Thus Dopey Bennie had sure knowledge of only one member of the party, Parks, as deâ€" scribed by Wong. And he turned from the phone with an oath. Workâ€" ing in the dark was his specialty, but working against the dark ‘was difficult. He was sure, however, that he must do something, for the report of ‘Murphy was ominous. From Canada the fame of Baby‘s Own Tablets is spreading over the world. Mothers recommend them to other mothers and wherever they are tried nothing but words of praise are heard for these pleasant tasting little tablets that promptly relieve the minor &ilments of young chil dren. "Baby‘s Own Tablets are one of the best remedies for children‘s ail ments I have ever used," says Mrs. Arthur T. Allen, of Auburn, Me. "My little girls was nervous and could not sleep. I tried the Tablets and she was relieved at once. She was also trowbled with constipation and rothing seemed to help her. I had used the Tablets but a short time before her bowels were regular. All mothers should keep Baby‘s Own Tablets in the house for they are a valuable remedy."
